SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions:

    On November 9 and November 23, 2001, January 11, February 1, 
February 8 and February 15, 2002, the Committee for Purchase From 
People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (66 FR 56635 
and 58712, 67 FR 1436, 4944, 5965 and 7130) of proposed additions to 
the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the products and 
services and impact of the additions on the current or most recent 
contractors, the Committee has determined that the products and 
services listed below are suitable for procurement by the Federal 
Government under 41 U.S.C. 46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4.
    I certify that the following action will not have a significant 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The major factors 
considered for this certification were:
    1. The action will not result in any additional reporting, 
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other 
than the small organizations that will furnish the products and 
services to the Government.
    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current 
contractors for the products and services.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the products and services to the Government.
    4. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-ODay Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the products and services proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following products and services are added to the 
Procurement List:
